DUN's WEEKLY REPORT.
Business in Very Good Shape, b
Money Getting Scarce.

BUSINESS in Very Good Shape, but
Money Getting Scarce.
NEW YORK, june l7.-R G. Dun a. Co. IS
weekly review of the trade says: cit is now
encouraging that two of the great specula-
tions by which business has for months been
embarrassed have come to an end without
disaster to any other parties save those who
invited the disaster Arnold e. Co, in coffee,
and kershaw a. Co, in grain, with power
tul combinations behind them, have been
broken with a number of small operators,
but commerce and finances have not been
seriously disturbed For the first time since
February Chicago was selling wheat
for export on Thursday, and the
market is now gradually adjusting itself
to the natural conditions. The sales of
wheat here reached 90, 1871 900 bushels, and
OF coffee 1,272, 900 bags. In both markets
the liquidation is progressing with a more
quiet feeling. The iron market is somewhat
weakened in tone by the breaking of the
coke combination and the renewed produc-
ton of some of the furnaces, which have
been banked Others, however, re-
fuse TO pay over 81 so for coke,
and the conferences are awaited The
large imports and great supplies Of old
iron, and the curtailment Of the nail
production TO less than one-half the capacity,
with the increasing sales Of the Southern
iron, effect the Northern markets, but prices
have not materially changed. Sales of
10000 tons Of foreign rails TO the South
western road and $1,000 tons for delivery at
Portland, Oregon, are reported
Cotton yielded but little when the other
speculation broke through. The exports for
the week are only $500 bales, against 5000
last year, and the crop prospects are every
where reported the most favorable for sew
eral years. With 216 per cent. increase in
the acreage, a YIELD the largest ever known
by 300,0 900 bales may result, according to
present accounts. II the weather favors,
and the price of raw cotton is held 20 per
cent. above that of Nov. l. with the print
cloths lower than at that time, the distrust
of the current prices will affect dealings in
the goods to some extent, though the de-
mand is still healthy and strong. The re-
ports from many points, though almost uni
formly favorable as TO the volume
of trade for the season and exceedingly
hopeful as to the future, begin to note the
stringency Of money in several directions
for reasons differing with each locality.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during last week number
for the United States 1913, Canada 20, total
of 2l3, against 173 last week, and $50 the
week previous The increase noticed this
week arises Of course mainly through the
whea< excitement In Chicago and the West.
In other sections Of the country the busi-
ness troubles appear to be lighter than
usual.

AMAZED AuGuSTIANS.
A Rainfall Phenomenon Puzzles the
Wisest and Alarms the Ignorant.


AUGUSTA, GA, June 1.-THE rain on s.
small spot at the corner of Forsyth and
Watkins street has been falling for ten
hours, though the day is hot and the sky
clear. The Augusta Erening Netos, an af-
ternoon paper, gives this account: "In front
of house No. go, on Forsyth street,
occupied by Mr.. Jchn Phillips, the rain
was seen falling in minute drops. 1t made
an impression on the surface Of the ground,
and by putting down a sheet of paper the
patter1ng Of the rain could be distinctly
heard The falling rain was first dis
covered by Mr.. Phillips neighbor,
Mrs Lee, about 9 O'Clock last night At II
o'clock this morning the water continued
falling. A large crowd witnessed the un-
solved mystery and were amazed upon
viewing the spectacle. The distance within
which the rain fell is about two
feet in diameter At noon the
rain ceased falling, which is supposed to
have been caused from the heat of the sun
upon the earth, absorbing the water as ID
fell Tonight the spray is again coming
down. Negroes in the locality are going
wild over the phenomenon.

vicinity that the negroes near Cedar Grove,
in Laurens county, have organized them
selves under the guise of knights
of Labor tits said that man by the name
of Hoover has been there and instigated
them to this course, as he has done similar
thing in Spartanburg county, near Wood
ruff, on the Port Royal and Western
Carolina railroad. They hold two
or three meetings week in the
churches with closed doors and armed door-
keepers and with threats of death to those
who divulge the secret. They have resolved
to demand dollar day for their labor.
They say the coieltry belongs to them and
they win kill the old white men and women
and maze the young women their wives
and ensave the white boys.
A cavalry company has been organized
at Cedar Grove among the white men, with
DIR. John Westmoreland Captain, aud Abra.

DETROIT, Mich, June IA special from
Charlevoix says: The steamer Champlain,
of the Northern Michigan line, bound for
Cheboygan from Chicago, burned at mid
night, between Norwood and Charlevoix,

meath the engine, driving the engineer from
his post with his clothes on fire. He ran to
the hurricane deck, plunged into tank and
then returned to his work, but was too late
to stop his engine or connect the
hose. The alarm was given, the sleeping
passengers aroused, and when the life pre-
servers had been fastened on all they gath
cred on the forward deck. Two lifeboats
and the life RATS were lowered, but the
steamer was running so fast that they got
away In ten minutes from the time the
boat caught fire, the passengers were all
compelled to jump into the lake. The
steward informs a Journal correspondent
that there were fifty-seven persons on board,
including the crew.
